The early morning is the best time to water your lawn. Water thoroughly every two to three days during the peak growing season. You must apply extra water to light soils, slopes, and areas near buildings or sidewalks. Gauge the amount of water you are using on your yard with a pie pan or small can in your lawn to collect and measure water. Check that your
lawn mower blade is sharp enough for an even cut. Mow every five days under normal conditions and only when grass is dry because wet grass causes clumping.
Know which type of fertilizer to use for a specific type of lawn. Granular Fertilizers are best for a year-round, systematic lawn treatment while Water Soluble Fertilizers are best for spot treatments on smaller areas. Choose either a rotary-type spreader or drop-type spreader to apply granular fertilizer evenly and a rotary spreader for large areas that need wide disbursement of fertilizer. An
effective insect repellent is very important to rid your lawn of damaging grubs and mole crickets all season long.
